BEB SUSTAINMENT: KEYS TO SUCCESS AT THE NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER

摘要

Brigade engineer battalions (BEBs) face significant challenges in logistically supporting enablers in decisive actions. The BEB is routinely tasked with receiving and integrating most brigade combat team (BCT) echelon above brigade enablers, resulting in an extensive amount of personnel and equipment for one unit to manage. When on the battlefield, the task organization becomes decentralized and dispersed, but the ownership ultimately remains with the BEB and its commander to ensure that enablers are supported and conducting their mission. Even with well-defined command and support relationships across a brigade, the most challenging problem facing the BEB in combat operations is providing support to organic and attached elements in the consolidation area while also supporting enablers that are task-organized to other units.
